A bout between light heavyweights Elvis Sinosic (8-11-2 MMA, 1-6 UFC) and fellow Australian Chris Haseman (20-16 MMA, 0-1 UFC) is also official for the night’s preliminary card.

As MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) reported last week, UFC 110 sold out in the first day of regular ticket sales (more than 10,000 tickets were scooped up in the first day of a pre-sale). UFC 110, which is expected to have an attendance near 17,000, is now the second-quickest sellout in UFC history.

“We knew we had an unbelievably passionate fanbase in Australia, but we are blown away by the speed of the sell-out,” Marshall Zelaznik, UFC U.K. president, stated. “We had a massive uptake of tickets to the Australian members of our Fight Club and newsletter readers, and tickets were completely gone within hours of going on sale to the public.

“What is even more incredible is that we completely sold out without even confirming a single fight on the card. Our fans trust us to bring the very best fights and fighters down under, and we are delighted to reward that trust in us with what is already a frontrunner for the card of the new year with UFC 110.”

A total of 26 fighters got their chance to shine on Saturday as part of UFC 190 at Rio de Janeiro’s HSBC Arena. Now that UFC 190 is in the books, it’s time to commence MMAjunkie’s “Three Stars” ceremony.

The man known for cranking submissions to the point of injury added eye-gouging to his repertoire. But is the controversy of Rousimar Palhares too essential to his bizarre, awful appeal for his employers to take any meaningful action against him?
